Description

The Old Vicarage (Number 17 Southtown) is an elegant and impressive period family home sitting in a commanding position on arguably the most sought-after road in Dartmouth. This mid-terrace, period townhouse is Grade II Listed and is laid out over three floors with a cellar below. Steps from the rear courtyard lead up to a terraced garden high at the rear.

The front door and covered porch leads through into a staircase hallway off which are in the dining room and the kitchen. The dining room is particularly impressive and has two sash windows from where one can enjoy the stunning views out across the Dart Estuary. A wide and high serving hatch links the dining room to the kitchen behind. The kitchen units were handmade in 2012 and within the kitchen there are induction hobs, an electric oven and underfloor heating. Behind the kitchen is a conservatory or family room (also with gas-fired underfloor heating) off which is a utility room and WC. Doors leads through to a rear courtyard within which is a small pond and fountain. Steps lead up from the courtyard to the terraced garden at the rear. This garden is situated high above the house and enjoys spectacular views out across the Dart Estuary and through the mouth of the river to the sea beyond.

Steps lead down from the kitchen to the cellar below where there is good head height and two adjoining rooms.

The main stairs lead up from the hallway to the half landing at the rear, off which is the first bedroom and an en suite shower room. The stairs leading on up to the first floor landing off which are the drawing room at the front and an office or fifth bedroom at the rear. The drawing room is particularly impressive and has three sets of sash windows with fabulous views out to sea. It also has an open, working fireplace.

The stairs leading up to the second half landing off which is the second bedroom and an en suite shower room. Off the second floor landing is the principal bedroom at the front and a large en suite bathroom at the rear (with both a bath and a shower). This bathroom is particularly impressive and was made by Sapphire Spaces of Topsham.

Stairs lead on up to the third floor which consists of the forth bedroom; a large family room with plenty of storage under the eaves and an en suite shower room.

Although there is no dedicated private parking with the property there is plenty of public parking along Southtown and Newcomen Road as well as the public carparks in the town center that is only a short walk away.Totnes 13 miles (London Paddington 2 hours 50 minutes) • Kingsbridge 15 miles • A38 Devon Expressway 19 miles • Exeter 40 miles (London Paddington 2 hours 4 minutes)

  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
